| luzhin: The Spanish Opening is strong -- but not that strong! |

| crptone: Black was already in danger with 1)..e5?!, but his position was only decisively lost after the blunder 2)..Nc6??. In the end, black lost due to time trouble. |

| korger: Actually, as extensive analysis has recently revealed, Black could have escaped from his dire predicament by the tricky combination 3... a6! 4.  a4  f6!!, after which drawing chances are possible. The resignation therefore was found to be premature; however, this complicated variation so deep in the Ruy Lopez was little known in 1921. |

| Phony Benoni: This was a remarkable example of life imitating art, as the game actually duplicated the solution of this Mate-in-three problem by Barry, published by Chernev & Reinfeld in <The Fireside Book of Chess>:

| Tomlinsky: Apparently, Yates got a comparatively long game compared to some of O'Hanlon's other games at Hastings 1921... O'Hanlon v Mackenzie
1.d4 0-1
Scott v O'Hanlon
1.d4 1-0
Sergeant v O'Hanlon
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 1/2-1/2
O'Hanlon v Price
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 1-0
I would guess that the scoresheets were lost or incomplete. Most databases don't even bother listing these games. |
